102 billion is a big number so I don’t think anyone will notice if you do slider*10 or something. Another way is use a counting code.
have a source text, add timewarp whole frames to and then pickwhip its speed to slider. the text will count as fast as the length of the layer, then the timewarp whole frames will be keyframed.
the text box source would be
//
numDecimals = 0;
commas = true;
dollarSign = false;
beginCount = 0;
endCount = 102456367670;
dur = Math.floor(thisLayer.outPoint-thisLayer.inPoint);t = time – inPoint;
s = linear (t, 0, dur, beginCount, endCount).toFixed(numDecimals);prefix = “”;
if (s[0] == “-“){
prefix = “-“;
s = s.substr(1);
}
if(dollarSign) prefix += “$”;if (commas){
decimals = “”;
if (numDecimals > 0){
decimals = s.substr(-(numDecimals + 1));
s = s.substr(0,s.length – (numDecimals + 1));
}
outStr = s.substr(-s.length, (s.length-1)%3 +1);
for (i = Math.floor((s.length-1)/3); i > 0; i–){
outStr += “,” + s.substr(-i*3,3);
}
prefix + outStr + decimals;
}else{
prefix + s;

the easiest thing in the world is simply use a chip chart/color card for each shot. that way, no matter what lights you’re using, or what camera settings you have(i.e. accidentally), simply use the grey eye dropper on the “white” chip chart portion and bam! no guessing. the white and black points get easily set also. the best part is, all your cameras will match, even if they used completely different light temperatures! cuts post-prod down ’bout 400%.

color finesse has a grey eye dropper for white balance and it comes with AE.

I know this post is late, but if you’re wondering if you can squeeze some more detail back from highlights, you could try my program. It works 2x better than adobe’s RAW. just resize the comp from sd to hd if needed.

AE doesn’t understand complex overlapping masks; as far as I know, they have to be simple linear vertex with no overlapping. that’s at least, my experience. if someone found a way, I’d love to hear it.

you need to close paths in illustrator. the vertex has to be connected for masks to work correctly. and yes, it’s a pain. it looks like a oval arrow.

what is your goal? to deinterlace before you even import? wouldn’t that make a laggy workspace? have you compared smart deinterlacer, grafts, and so on, with AE’ built-in preserve best edges? if you want the best deinterlacing, i’d recommend topaz enhance out of all 300 ways to do this.
here’s a site that compares some avsynth.
https://compression.ru/video/deinterlacing/index_en.htmlI made an interesting test with timewarp to repair deinterlacing artifacts here
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/50/857861#857861If you post a screenshot directly comparing yadifmod superior to Ae’s preserve best edges, I’d be willing to help code it.

if you change it from bezier to linear keyframe interpolation, it should fix itself.
